About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
supports both video and audio on a single
digital connection for use with DVD players
and recorders, DTV, set-top boxes, and other
AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide
the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital
Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital
Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification.
HDCP is used to protect digital content
transmitted and received by DVI-compliant
displays.
HDMI has the capability to support
standard, enhanced, or high-definition video
plus standard to multi-channel surround-
sound audio. HDMI features include
uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of
up to 5 gigabits per second (Dual Link), one
connector (instead of several cables and
connectors), and communication between
the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
